Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a refractory conduit or duct assembly or connection, particularly for the transfer of molten steel from a discharge vessel such as a tundish to an ingot mold of a horizontal continuous casting plant having revolving ingot mold walls in the form of endless belts.
  • the continuous casting of molten steel preferably occurs in vertically oscillating ingot molds into which dips, with the feeding orifice below the steel bath surface, an immersion nozzle connected vertically to the tundish and so constructed that it is airtight, thereby to prevent atmospheric air from reaching the molten steel.
  • the maximum teeming rates are 3 to 4 meters per minute, whereby the rates of casting remain relatively low, despite the considerable amount of stationary equipment necessitated by the tundish lid.
  • a refractory conduit assembly including a replaceable spout member adapted to be removably connected at a predetermined and reproducible location in the refractory lining of a vessel such as a tundish.
  • the spout member has therethrough a discharge channel to receive from the interior of the vessel a flow of molten steel and to lead such flow to the exterior of the vessel.
  • a shutoff device is provided to interrupt the flow of molten steel to the discharge channel.
  • a casting tube has therethrough a flow passage with inlet and outlet ends.
  • the casting tube may be directly or indirectly connected to the spout member, such that the flow of molten steel passes from the discharge channel of the spout member to the flow passage of the casting tube.
  • the outlet end of the flow passage of the casting tube has an altered cross-sectional configuration adapted to be similar to that of an ingot mold to which the flow of molten steel is supplied.
  • the casting tube has connected thereto a nozzle having an outlet end with means for sealingly contacting the walls of the ingot mold.
  • a coupling device may be employed to connect the casting tube to the spout member.
  • a first such component includes the spout member that can be built into the lining of the vessel and that can be preassembled with a shutoff device and with the coupling device.
  • the second component includes the casting tube which, together with the nozzle, can be joined as an adjustable unit to the component including the spout member. It is possible to prepare and assemble the two components separately prior to use, and then to complete the assembly by joining the two components or units together. That is, it is possible to build the spout member unit into the vessel lining, and then to move the casting tube unit to the thus located spout member unit.
  • the spout member comprises a prefabricated wedge-shaped element installed or built into the vessel lining, and particularly in the bottom thereof, in a manner to be accessible from the outer surface of the vessel. Further preferably, the spout member is positioned at a predetermined location in the vessel lining by means of shaped bricks arranged at predetermined positions in the lining, these bricks having surfaces abutting with mating surfaces of the spout member. This arrangement makes it possible to rapidly exchange spout members, while replacing a new spout member in a precisely reproducible position.
  • Such bricks include a first or portal-shaped brick built into a wall of the vessel lining and having therein a vertically upwardly extending recess defining an upper surface and side surfaces abutting mating surfaces of the spout member, and a second, generally horseshoe-shaped brick built into the bottom of the vessel lining and having therein a horizontally inwardly extending recess defining an inner surface abutting an inner end of the spout member and side surfaces abutting side walls of the spout member.
  • the discharge channel through the spout member has a rectangular cross section
  • the shutoff device includes an outlet member embedded in the spout member and having therethrough a discharge opening joining the discharge channel and cooperable with a stopper of the vessel to shutoff the flow of molten steel. This arrangement results in a relatively low overall height of the assembly.
  • the spout member preferably is formed of a chemically or hydraulically bound refractory concrete.
  • a mounting plate or bar may be embedded in the refractory concrete forming the spout member, such plate or bar projecting outwardly from the vessel to facilitate handling of the spout member.
  • the refractory concrete forming the spout member may have embedded therein, in the area defining the discharge channel, an admixture of steel fibers. This strengthens the area through which flows the molten metal.
  • the coupling element may be interposed between the spout member and the casting tube, or alternatively the casting tube may be directly connected to the spout member.
  • the outer end of the spout member has therein a circular groove surrounding the discharge channel and receiving a circular flange on the coupling element.
  • the spout member has planar guide surfaces abutting planar side surfaces of the coupling element.
  • the coupling element includes a generally cylindrical body connected to the spout member and a generally hemispherically shaped member connected to the cylindrical body and to the casting tube.
  • the cylindrical body and the hemispherically shaped member have therethrough connected respective channels connecting the discharge channel of the spout member to the flow passage of the casting tube.
  • the hemispherically shaped member is formed as a separate element for production engineering reasons.
  • the two elements are connected together by means of an annular flange engaged in a mating annular groove.
  • the channel in the cylindrical body converges from the rectangular cross section of the discharge channel of the spout member to a circular cross section of the channel in the hemispherically shaped member and of the flow passage in the casting tube.
  • the channel of the hemispherically shaped member is inclined to the channel of the cylindrical body, but is parallel to the flow passage of the casting tube. In other words, the flow passage of the casting tube is inclined to the discharge channel of the spout member, and this inclination is carried into the channels of the two elements of the coupling element.
  • the casting tube includes at an inlet end thereof a flange having a concave, somewhat spherical surface seating on the hemispherically shaped member.
  • This flange also has a planar surface, and a metal jacket is fixed about the inlet end including the flange by a mortar layer, the jacket having a planar surface abutting the planar surface of the flange.
  • the casting tube is positioned in an adjustable metal holding frame by means of the metal jacket which abuts such holding frame.
  • This construction makes it possible to provide mating connections to the coupling element and to the nozzle, whereby the metal jacket can be reused on new casting tubes and can be mortared in position by means of a pattern mold to obtain a snug fit. This makes it possible to achieve a precise mounting of the casting tube in the metal frame, as is necessary for transmission of contact forces, as will be apparent in the following.
  • the casting tube includes a main tube portion having around the exterior thereof insulation in the form of half shell-shaped members.
  • the casting tube further has an outlet portion having a flared converging shape having around the exterior thereof framed mat insulation made of ceramic fibrous material.
  • the nozzle is formed of a molten steel-repellent material and has therearound an insulation layer over which fits in a relatively tight manner a metal housing having an outer surface which is flush with an outwardly extending peripheral rim at the outlet end of the nozzle, which rim forms the means for providing a seal with the ingot mold.
  • the nozzle is easily and reliably secured to the casting tube through the metal housing by means of chucking devices which, are hinged to the holding frame of the casting tube. It has been established that it is advantageous to provide the nozzle in the form of a main body having therearound the insulation layer and a separate nozzle tip including the peripheral rim. The main body and the nozzle tip are sealed against each other by abutting, centered, planar ground faces. By this arrangement, a prematurely worn nozzle tip can be readily replaced. Furthermore, a more economical material, preferably boron nitrite, can be employed as the material for the nozzle tip, thereby offering improved safety with respect to free flow of the molten steel and wearing resistance. Pins on the metal housing can extend into the nozzle tip, whereby the chuck devices, the metal housing and the pins move the nozzle tip toward the main body.
  • the present invention provides an arrangement at the nozzle tip.
  • This arrangement specifically includes a peripheral space around the main body between the abutting respective planar surfaces and the layer of insulation, for example by removing a leading portion of the insulation layer.
  • An inert gas inlet connection may be provided within the metal housing to supply inert gas to the peripheral space.
  • Outlet holes may be provided in the metal housing communicating with the peripheral space, thereby enabling the inert gas to escape therefrom and to provide a curtain to prevent atmospheric air from entering the ingot mold.

  • Channel 20 through body 5a varies and transduces from the rectangular cross section of discharge channel 17 to the circular cross section of channel 20a.
  • Body 5a has on the exterior thereof planar surfaces 21 which mate with and are guided by planar guides 19.
  • the element 5 is formed in the two separate members 5a, 5b for reasons of production engineering which are assembled into one component by means of flange 23 and groove 24.
  • the casting tube 6 has an inlet end including an outwardly extending flange 6a having a concave surface 6b seating on the hemispherically shaped member 5b.
  • Flange 6a also has a planar surface 6c.
  • a metal jacket 27 is fitted around the inlet end including the flange 6a of the casting tube by a mortar layer 26. Jacket 27 has a planar surface abutting the planar surface 6c of the flange 6a.
  • the major length, tubular portion of casting tube 6 is enclosed by insulation which is in the form of half shell-shaped members 31, 32, the shapes of which particularly are shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, respectively.

  • the nozzle includes a main body and a separate nozzle tip 7a which extends into ingot mold 2 and coacts sealingly with the walls thereof, for example formed by moving belts moving in the direction of steel withdrawal.
  • the nozzle 7 thus generally has an exterior configuration of the same cross section as the ingot mold. In the illustrated embodiment, this shape is of a generally prismatic body having therethrough a flow channel 38 flaring outwardly on all sides toward the nozzle tip 7a.
  • the refractory material thereof makes sealing contact with the ingot mold walls via a peripheral outwardly extending flange or rim 39.
  • the remaining exterior cross section of the nozzle tip 7a and the main body of the nozzle is recessed to define a reduced dimension area to receive a peripheral insulation layer 40 formed of ceramic fibrous material and a metal housing 41 the exterior of which is flush with the peripheral rim 39.
